How BeecheEcaptured an Audience.


One of the most dramatic events in
the oratorical career of Henry Ward
Beecher occurred in Richmond five wears
ago this spring, during his lecturing
tour through the South. The announce
ment that he was to lecture at Mozart
Hall on 1.-THE North and the South
filed the old building. 1t was his first
appearance in Richmond since the War,
and he was rather doubtful about the
kind of reception he would get. When
he walked out on the stage he saw be-
fore him distinguished audience of
Southerners, including several of the
leading Generals on the losing side. In
the fourth row of the orchestra sat Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, and just behind him Gen.
Rosser, while near by were Ex-Gov.
Extra Billy" Smith and Gov. Cameron.
No applause greeted the great preacher
as he stepped before the footlights
The ladies leveled their opera glasses
at him with cold curiosity, and the
men looked cody expectant. Some
Kisses from a few rowdies in the gal
lery did not tend to dispell the chillness
of the reception.
Mr. Beecher surveyed the audience
camly for a moment, and then stepping
directly in front of Gen. Lee, he said:
81 have seen pictures of Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee, and l Judge that you are the man;
am [ right?"
The General, slightly taken aback
by this direct address, nodded stiffly,.
while the audience bent forward
breathless with curiosity as to what
was going to follow.
;Then,n said Mr.. Beecher. his face
lighting up, 81 want to offer you this
| right hand which in its own way,
fought against you and yours twenty
five years ago, but which 1 would now
willingly sacrifice to make the sunny
South prosperous and happy. Will
you take it, General?''
There was moments hesitation, q
moment of deathlike stiffness in the hall. .
and then Fitzhugh Lee was on his feet,
his hand was extended across the foot
lights, and was quickly met by the
warm grasp of the preachers.
At first there was a murmur, half of
doubtfulness, from the audience; then
there was hesitating clapping of hands,
and before Beecher had Embossed the
hand of Robert E. Lees nephew-now
governor of Virginia there were
cheers such as were never heard before
in old Mozart, though it had been the
scene of many War and political
